Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Ducato: Steering Could Become Increasingly Stiff.
Recall Summary Fiat Chrysler is recalling 5,427 Ducato vehicles because the steering rack may not have enough lubricant, causing the steering to become increasingly stiff and harder to operate. Over time, this lack of lubrication can damage the steering rack teeth. Dealers will inspect the steering rack for damage and either lubricate it or replace it if damaged is found.
